If I thought that such public information would yield information useful to a hiring decision, relative to the time and resources required to obtain that information, then yes.

The exterior of someone's house isn't useful in hiring. Their thoughts and opinions they choose to publish to the billions on the internet generally are.

It jives with my perspective too, but I can't help also feeling like that's an "old man yells at cloud" viewpoint. The way kids use social media today is fundamentally different to my experience. Like the way my parents viewed IRC usage as an outlet for kidnapping or whatever. Kids grew up immersed in social media, and probably use it for rich and important social interactions that are alien to me. I view social media as a largely performative, toxic space and I've quit most of it. But newer generations might see a lot of value that I don't. (And that's not helped by constantly seeing articles about cyberbullying, depressive correlation articles like OP, etc.)
You can’t really respect another person if you disrespect his/her religion..

Math is not that easy. How does something like eg. Group Theory fits into this “definition”? And yet, it is useful to the real world.

Superstition is not religion.
From my personal experience: yes. TV is less addictive, and its contents are better controlled.

Here in the UK you get even 6. Problem is that when the producer knows the limit, they can design the product to die roughly just after the warranty.
When I repaired some of my own equipment, I was amazed that even 40 year old capacitors were just fine and there was a service manual, with all schematics, BOM, calibration manual. Something unimaginable today.
I can second this. Working in industry, the bar is quite high for rigor. The general attitude of industrial researchers is to be very very skeptical of academia, since a lot of things just don't reproduce (cherry-picked data, p-hacking, only work in a narrow domain, etc., etc.). These researchers are almost all people with PhDs in various science fields, so not exactly skeptics.
so, i'm gay married with another woman. it's not as simple as it seems. depending on the institution we're interfacing with, one of us will tend to get all the calls from that institution. for our child's school, it's my wife. for the pharmacy, it's me. etc.

i think quite literally the most frequent reason this happens is because the person calling you will pick the first person on their contact list. for a school, that's usually the wife/mother. she took the kid to school once, and put info on the contact list. she's first. nothing nefarious there.
Do you have an alternative for addressing the gish gallop issue?

We agree that science bros have problems, but unless you have an alternative I see them as a net positive, and not by a small margin.

Consensus formation is always messy, but that's not solved by losing.
Interesting how the whole thing devolves into 4chan-esque cesspool the moment anonymity is introduced. Humans are interesting creatures.
I can also confirm it was Pottery Barn.
The original comic is pretty clear that it's the repeated attempts to engage with someone clearly uninterested in debate "Aha! A whole day has passed and you have provided no evidence of the superior performance of Ruby on the other thread." that marks the sealions out. The other side to the comic is that the original throwaway remark sounds a bit hard to justify, until we see the sealions. Anybody who's ever made a throwaway remark about how X is like a cult or Y has obsessive fanboys and got bogged down in replies from people politely insisting actually we're completely normal, now please refute all 27 points about why X and Y are better can relate...

Also its a Godwin-law type internet regularity, not a cast iron behavioural rule. Sometimes making comparisons to Nazis or calling out serial posters of provocative statements is actually appropriate
Even then you could still end up in the gulag. My wife's great grandfather spent years in work camps because his drinking "friends" turned him in for expressing "unfavourable opinions about Stalin".

While not anywhere nearly that extreme, it makes me nervous that we're moving in that direction culturally (where it's socially acceptable and encouraged to turn someone in for having the "wrong" thoughts).
> In a barrier signaling and waiting is a single atomic operation. Each thread (of a group of N) reaching a barrier will wait until all N threads have reached an waited (and implicitly signaled) it.

Yeah that's exactly what std::latch::arrive_and_wait does.

I don't think atomicity is a thing here though... arrive_and_wait() is just count_down() followed by wait().

> A countdown latch is an event that will release one (or more) waiter only after has been signaled N times. Signaling and waiting threads are not necessarily the same and often are distinct sets.

C# still calls this a Barrier, except that it requires one of the waiters to be a participant (see AddParticipant() and SignalAndWait()): https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/dotnet/api/system.threading...

They even allow removing participants!

This is a little bit like a mutex that has a try_lock. It's not strictly the vanilla Computer Science "mutex" with lock/unlock per se, but it's not a fundamentally different concept; it's just a handy yet pretty close generalization.
I guess if you really want to give this a new name then maybe it's not a terrible idea given it's a slight generalization of a barrier, but latch is certainly not going to be any more accurate (or less confusing) than barrier.

I've been on a very layer/hold-tap heavy vertically staggered Iris for a long time, and a Let's Split before. Touching my macbook's internal keyboard just rewires me to its layout. The way bigger thing is when I use someone else's computer and they haven't mapped Caps-Lock to control or set up emacs option shortcuts, or space-cadet shift/parentheses. Those are all changes I've made to my internal keyboard so my muscle memory is there. The external keyboard is so different that it really doesn't affect it.

I've found "How centralized is decision making in the company?" to be illuminating. The specific answer doesn't matter, but it probably hasn't been asked before and the answerer will have to think about the answer. If they give an easy, enthusiastic answer, that is a good sign - if they give a slow convoluted corporate speak answer that is a bad sign.
There’s a subreddit about how phones are bad that most people probably access on their phones? I think my head just exploded.
Somehow in your contrarian riff you end up agreeing with the research, at least in part.

If social media does indeed lead to less exercise as research suggests-- which, as you explicitly agree would make things worse-- it is a boogeyman.
> On the other hand, you can more easily ignore online comments than real life comments.

Not sure if I'm the only doing that but in many, many cases I just ignore the reddit red envelope (I open it in new tab and close that tab instantly with Cmd+W), I choose to which comments of mine to answer directly (if the case) by going straight to them, so to speak, and see if there's anything in there.

Granted, I'm not strong enough to do that all the time, but it helps, nonetheless.
As I mentioned, I don't ask for passwords, and I don't have an FB account myself to "friend" anyone. Any information they don't publish to the whole world isn't my concern.

I am talking about public webpages.

As for my Fetlife account, my username is the same there as it is here, and on IRC, and on Wikipedia, and on GitHub, et c.

I have blackout treatments on my windows.

The aptitude for being aware of what is or isn't public/published is something I hire for, too. Then again, I work with data and customers that live and die by such things.
This is correct. Without humans, Minds go eccentric. Sometimes they go eccentric anyway. It seems that the more humans, the better for the Mind's mind; but sometimes it's mainly one (Excession). What is it about humans that calms the Minds? I think it is fallibility, error, irrationality, but also exuberance and an ability to purely appreciate beauty.
well, it is the washington post. polemics disguised as opinion camouflaged as news.
Good point about bitrot. This is why I wrote ccheck.pl (https://github.com/jwr/ccheck) — I wanted to be able to check and detect bitrot in a way that depends on as little technology as possible.

This happens to me at my kids' school. I work from home and so I am the primary caregiver in the registration forms. I also take special care every year at "meet the teacher" events to remind them (including the school nurse and the people in the front office) that I am the primary contact. They still usually call my wife first.

For completeness sake, another variable not mentioned in the article is all_proxy used by gnome, python, curl and a few dozen misc applications for SOCKS proxy config. I would add a reference, but they are scattered all over the web. AFAIK not part of an RFC, but I could be wrong.
It's a good point to raise, as a working forest is quite different to a protected forest. Where I live is surrounded by working forest and regularly a large swathe will be felled, having a big impact on wildlife and taking at least a couple of decades for that land to recover. That's good for carbon sequestration, which is what Ikea wants it for, but not so good for the forest residents.
It’s becoming pretty clear that you’ve never seen the power of these tools in action.

I don’t think I proved your point at all. I very explicitly showed the opposite.

I’ve worked at companies that ingest petabytes of data, processing it would just not be possible without hadoop and sister tech (chiefly hdfs). Hundreds of developers working on a common codebase that would not have been possible without modern ci/cd solutions. Data pipelines whose reliability would be 0 without a modern rpc system like thrift to ensure system interfaces are well defined and consistent.

There are very real and practical use cases for these technologies. Just because you haven’t experienced them doesn’t mean that they’re overkill. Just because enterprise engineers like to overengineer using these tools does not mean that everyone does. There are very real scenarios where these tools have helped smaller companies and startups to punch beyond their weight.

The point is clear, sure, but I'm talking about the continued misuse of the word. Many Americans seem to think socialism is when the government does basically anything. Many people unironically believe Joe Biden is a socialist or communist.

Sure the meanings of words can change, but what about actual socialism? Is is it supposed to adopt a new name?
I meant it in terms of a widget with no notion of the DOM. You can’t really right click, select, only if the app creator overrides those events. Nothing native.

Also, what if the creator embeds an ad inside a canvas? You would need an AI to hide it from there. So, all in all a pretty terrible direction to go..

My son’s schools have always done this as well. Invariably the administrative staff at his schools (apart from the principal) are women, and invariably they call his mom instead of me. Every single time I get an apology because they tried to reach out to mom and couldn’t get an answer.

1. They assume his mom is his primary caregiver
2. They assume I will mind having to care for my child
3. They never make a note that they can’t get through to his mom; the assumption remains all year that she’s the primary caregiver

On the other side though, buying a car last year was frustrating because multiple salesmen treated my partner like she didn’t exist and answered her questions about cars like she was 3 years old or simply directed answers to me. I had to remind them far too often to talk to her - I hadn’t asked the question.

Also the shitty jokes about letting her test drive - it just isn’t funny, she commutes by car for work and I ride a bike to work; she really should test drive it and no I’m not afraid of a woman driving a car. It made us want to walk off car lots, but then we discovered every lot did it anyway.
What motivates you to reply that, when you know it isn't true? There's been news media for more than a century now, and it is not known to cause addiction and depression in teenagers.

It's true CS has this problem. But that doesn't mean you cannot do reproducible research in academia. It's up to you.
The communities are too big. We're not meant to socialize frequently with people with whom there are rarely repercussions for how we treat them.
You're pricing was off already anyway, considering we don't use most of the stuff you push upon us. Peculiar timing, Space was just released, you worsen your plans and get way too expensive. I kinda get the feeling you want to narrow down your target audience.

We'll probably switch to Space or something else, considering that we only use merge requests, CI and the repo itself anyway.

There were parts of that documentary that were good, but it was also way over the top. And funny enough Netflix was never mentioned in it, because it was produced by them (Even though binge watching is a thing). It also felt like it dived into conspiracy theories without a lot of backing.

The funniest part for the entire thing is that they spent a lot of time of how do we solve this problem of social media. There was a lot of just weird things brought up in the documentary itself. But the real answer was actually in the interviews in the credit, which is where it just says to get off of social media.

It did not feel like we're trying to be honest, rather they wanted to be controversial.
Until six months ago, I consumed very little mainstream media or social media. I started following the news leading up to the presidential election because it seemed like this one would be more consequential than most. I can definitely say that I've been meaningfully less happy / more anxious / etc as a result. I definitely intend to scale back my news / media consumption to the level it was before in the near future.
Use what works for you. Why does it have to be the same way for everyone?
Yeah, go ahead and down vote without explaining yourself. It's so educational!
Did you read the article? The problem is not just the fee (insanely high for a bootcamp), but that graduates are hired out to companies and paid rates that sound much lower than market rates, which most likely they are charging the companies a higher rate for. And if they refuse they have to pay the fee.

Your college owns you for 2-3 years after graduation and can hire you out and decide where you live and work and at what rate?

Sounds a lot like indentured servitude.

Six articles like that :( Worse, it appear this is his style everywhere, including live in person. Perhaps somewhere in amongst this James is actually an expert on something who has useful knowledge to impart to Harvard's students, but perhaps not? Maybe you really can go to a "lecture" in which a tenured Harvard professor expects you to laugh at jokes which even by the already woeful standards of Computer Science jokes, are not funny. Ouch.

One of these articles proposes that the problem with smartphones is that they aren't very good phones. In this "satirical" form it proposes a pyramid shaped "hierarchy of needs" for phones with "Make phone calls" as the most important element at the bottom.

Perhaps in 2014 that felt like an insight, to James Mickens or to his readers. I don't think so, but maybe 2014 is longer ago than I think it is, and maybe nobody had noticed back then that (and I apologise if this is an amazing insight to you now):

Calling them phones was an excuse. People aren't very good at figuring out what they actually want, so telling people we're going to offer them Network capable handheld computers wouldn't work, they don't realise they want those. So you say these are "phones" and then let them gradually figure out that actually they have never wanted to make a telephone call in their life but they did want a handheld computer to access the Network.

The form factor makes no sense for a phone. Clearly a rectangular sheet of glass isn't the right shape for a phone. But it is a good shape for a handheld computer. Which, again, is what you actually wanted anyway.

Whenever I read articles like this, it reminds me that cross-platform development can serve as a hedge, and not as a feature, it you want to look at it that way.

I publish an app that works on Windows, Mac, and Linux, but if I ever ran into a situation like this repeatedly, I’d just kill the feature on that platform and save my engineering hours for something more important.

I’m interested in what Apple is going to do for me, I’m not interested in enriching their platform.
I’ve found Culture Queries to be a good resource for this. Helped me avoid questions that led to boilerplate answers (“do you have work/life balance?” -> “How responsive are people to emails/Slack over the weekends and after 6pm?”).

Your post assumes the existence of a ‘ruling elite’ which is the tautological feed stock of nearly all ‘conspiracy theories’. But our system is very complicated. There are supposed to be checks and balances at every level that comprise a type of Sybil resistance to rife dishonesty and exploitation from one person no matter how wealthy or to what position they were elected. Thus it would take a conspiracy, or at least some level of coercion or bribery, to subvert our system. Is it really just a bunch of hard-working impeccably-honest people engaged in fierce competition against each other at the top, as we were told to assume in Econ101? Or is it more like cooperative game theory where normal people are not players, but the game itself. Or is it something different altogether, not motivated by profits, but by ideology, something secret and anathema to those not in on it? It seems that the latter is simultaneously most celebrated and feared, that ‘the elite’ would use their power to manipulate us into something of their liking, “to serve man”, presented as broad selfless gestures of benevolence and philanthropy. It seems today that all voices of power are engaged in a constant rally of fear-mongering, hatred, and censorship against the few voices screaming, “it’s a cookbook”. Sometimes I wonder whether this is a clear implication of something wicked, or just a profitable form of madhouse entertainment, full of social illusions.

It's interesting you're being downvoted - because from the way I'm reading this you're not advocating that this theory is true but merely pointing out that it exists, describing it's attributes, and showing a couple of examples that seem to overlap with the theory. Which only seems to shore up your last statement.
When implementing posix semantics there are a lot of nasty corner cases, especially with dealing with fairnes, graceful destruction, correct handling of wait generations and probably more that I'm missing.

I would never attempt to implement a full condvar.
This is one of the reasons I chose a Moonlander over an Ergodox for my first split keyboard, the ability to fold the thumb cluster down to an angled position seemed like it'd be more natural. So far in the two months I've been using it I think I was correct about that (that said, when closer to flat the Moonlander's cluster is at a much steeper angle off the rest and is less than ideal)

Also likewise on thinking about a sculpted build, the rabbit hole is deep with these things. Redox Manuform is where I'm currently leaning, I like the extra keys and the thumb cluster looks a bit better. Unfortunately that means going full custom, since while a few vendors sell prebuild Dactyl Manuforms no one seems to do the Redox version.
In short: There's nothing that you can do

Longer: One of two things -

1. Choose the most boring software possible, trust that the process will work as expected and that you're no worse off than anyone else. Update your software regularly

2. Choose the simplest, most robust software possible (Alpine, OpenBSD, etc). In this case, doas instead of sudo. Pray that works better than everyone else or that you get some benefits through obscurity. Still get surprised every so often. Update regularly

Either way, modern software has gotten complex enough that there's few options for the average person
This is a great question I hadn't thought of before.

As I think about it, it might not even matter much what the answer is - outside of personal preference, of course. Clear decision-makers can be good. Having a lot of autonomy can be good. Not being sure if you're allowed to do X or not, or even who to ask about it, never is.
Accounting is highly regulated, but the regulations change basically every year and the penalties for not following them can be very severe.
